Mentorship + Entrepreneurship = Success

For a while it’s been clear that India is making strides to get the internet more openly available to the masses. From Reliance JIo’s initiative to make it more affordable, to Google’s Project Loon, there are many examples of this. Of course, the availability of the internet is the first step but the accessibility is another. That’s why it’s so important to see big players in the mobile and laptop markets taking such an interest in India. For instance, Acer has announced the expansion of its retail presence in India and as the iPhone 7 is officially launched it’s always important to see how a company like Apple addresses a market like India. Apple has not made a secret of just how important India is for the firm and given the battle between Samsung and Apple in the top end of the market is currently being won by Samsung, Apple had to pull out some stops. The new iPhone will go on sale in India in early October at a cheaper price than iPhone 6s which shows a clear intention for Apple to ensure they continue to make strides in the India market. So important it seems is the Indian market to Apple that it has asked Foxconn to explore making IPhones in India as well as open wholly owned subsidiaries in the country.
